Who am I? Or put another way, who is the character you’re playing? The best way to work this out is by reading the play. Read the whole text and notice how they respond in certain situations, who they have relationships with, and what they say. You want to get a fully rounded sense of who the character is.

Modern text Richard Smith Hubert Most actors think there isn’t as much to work on vocally when they approach a contemporary text, particularly if there aren’t any specific dialect demands. However, lifting written rhythms off the page can be a huge challenge. Sometimes these rhythms are realistic, resembling or mirroring the speech patterns of real human beings: sometimes they are non- realistic, distorting speech patterns for particular effect. In English, speech rhythm is created by a combination of phrasing, pausing, stressing, pitching, tuning and pacing. • Phrasing and Pausing – When we speak we communicate in groups of words, separating them out with silences of various lengths, in order to clarify more precisely what we want A LAMDA student delivers a monologue in a performance to say • Stressing – When we speak we bring some information into the foreground Stressing unless there are moments of absolute and place some into the background, • Avoid over-stressing across a phrase. intensity in the text.

6. Know about the given circumstances MogenburgBrinkhoff of the songs in your portfolio. In early-round auditions for musicals, you will most likely sing material of your own choosing, rather than songs from the show you are up for. Understand the context of the material as the panel will likely know most of your pieces very well. If they don’t know the song, they may still ask you about it. 7. Dress appropriately. Deciding what to wear for an audition is sometimes a tricky business. A good benchmark for the way to dress is ‘the smart end of casual’. I often say to my students: ‘If you are not comfortable walking down the street in your audition outfit, you have probably got it wrong.’ Also try to dress in a way that shows you could look right for the period the musical is set, without Ramin Karimloo as The Phantom indulging in fancy dress. 8.

able to communicate with lots of different types of people. A stage management career usually follows the following path: Assistant Stage Manager (ASM), Deputy Stage Manager (DSM) and then Stage Manager (SM). However, some people choose to stick at DSM or might move to SM early for a small scale production which can only afford one stage management member of the team. The ASM, DSM and SM roles have different focuses: ASMs tend to be responsible for finding, making and borrowing props and often work backstage during the show assisting with back stage cues, quick changes and scene changes. DSMs are in the rehearsal room for the rehearsal period with the director and the actors. They are responsible for making notes on the production as it develops which are then distributed to the relevant departments such as lighting, sound, set, and so on. The other really big job that the DSM has is to make and keep up to date the production ‘bible’, called the prompt copy. This is eventually used to run the show in the theatre and will contain all the actors’ moves and the cue points for lighting, sound, scenery changes. The SM oversees both ASM and DSM and has responsibility for show budgets, and for the booking of travel and accommodation for the company (sometimes this role is also called Company Manager or CSM). Key skills for stage management careers: Written and verbal A career in lighting is one of many creative backstage roles available to you communication, organisation skills, attention to detail, general understanding of how other departments work (often gained in training).

Lighting designers/ technicians A career suited to those who are wowed by the effects created by light and special effects when they go to the theatre; and also to those who love technology. Lighting has progressed so much over the last 20 years that it’s a very exciting place to be for those who love what technology can do! A career in lighting has lots of possibilities.
